Chapter 871: Chapter 868: Is Your Boss Paying You More for Gossiping Like This?

updates

Standing at the hotel room door, Gu Chen hesitated to knock, after all, he was the one who took advantage of others back then, yet he chose to escape. Now that he’s back, he doesn’t know if Gu Li has also run away like him.

Just as he was pondering, the door suddenly opened from the inside, revealing Gu Li’s face. Their eyes met, and the two stared blankly at each other.

Gu Chen did not expect Gu Li to appear at this moment, precisely because he thought Gu Li would leave him like she always did.

He cleared his throat and said, "I’m back."

In the next second, a soft body rushed into his embrace, just as it felt in the depths of his memories. Gu Chen stiffened, not knowing what she meant by this.

"Gu Chen~" Gu Li buried her face in his neck, muffled, "I thought you’d never want me again."

"..."

After a while, Gu Chen finally snapped out of his shock. His large hand slowly stroked her back, pulling her into his arms, greedily breathing in her scent.

"I will never abandon you."

...

"Gu Li, today is the happiest day of my life," Gu Chen said with a smile.

He was genuinely happy because, after what he had done to her, she didn’t leave but actively sought his embrace. Is there anything more delightful than having your beloved accept you?

For Gu Chen, there isn’t, not at the moment.

"Oh, come on~ Let me get down. I’ll talk to you after I get dressed."

"Just say it like this." He acted cheeky, holding her tightly and unwilling to let go.

Gu Li was trapped and couldn’t move, so she had to give up.

Seeing Gu Li not speak, Gu Chen gently patted her, "Didn’t you say you had something to tell me earlier?"

"Well. Where have you been these days? I couldn’t reach you on the phone, and no one could find you..." That day she woke up, Gu Chen was nowhere to be found.

Fortunately, after asking around, she learned Gu Chen had left the room early on, which eased her mind.

During the time apart, she finally clarified her feelings. It wasn’t that she couldn’t accept him, but she was unwilling to try. Just like that night, she didn’t mind his touch at all, in fact, she quite liked it.

When he was not around, she missed him, missed the bits and pieces of their time together over the years. Eventually, she realized that although she was running all these years, her heart always held him.

Hearing Gu Li’s words, Gu Chen tightened his arms, "Sorry, I was afraid you’d run away again when you woke up~"

"Pfft~" Gu Li suddenly laughed, leaning against him and laughing softly, "Gu Chen, I can’t believe you’re so timid today!"

Gu Chen: "I won’t be anymore. If you run away again, I’ll catch you, and trap you in bed for three days and nights, and double it next time~ Are you still going to run?"

Thinking about the difference between Gu Chen in bed and his usual gentle self, Gu Li shivered involuntarily and quickly shook her head, "No more running, never."

With the backyard issue resolved, Gu Chen was more eager to find Old Xiao so that they could get away from this dangerous place.

But the next day, Gu Chen had barely woken from a tender embrace when he received a call saying Xiao Enli had run away.

"What exactly happened?"

Without waiting for the voice on the other end, Gu Chen grabbed his coat and left the hotel.

Ultimately, they caught Xiao Enli at the airport.

Seeing that she was about to leave, only to be captured again, Xiao Enli was furious, almost shouting "kidnapping" at the airport. Fortunately, they were prepared, which avoided many troubles.

Gu Chen directly had her brought back to the hotel, opened a room next to his, and arranged a few subordinates to stay with him. Of course, Lu Jinyang hadn’t told him that Xiao Enli was a woman, nor revealed Xiao Qing’s background.

Tied up, Xiao Enli glared at Gu Chen, "Whose side are you on?"

"Xiao Anze’s."

Xiao Enli suddenly laughed, "You’re trying to sow discord." Xiao Anze willingly gave her this position, and before leaving, he said she could handle it any way she wanted and he wouldn’t interfere.

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Why not?"

Xiao Enli didn’t answer but said, "I guess you’re Xiao Qing’s person, or should I say, Lu Jinyang’s man."

"Why them?"

Seeing Gu Chen didn’t plan to properly answer her question, Xiao Enli was slightly annoyed, "Why do you guys keep me here after all? At least let me die understand?"

"Xiao Enli, do you know that leaving Emperor would leave a mess, can you bear to see your grandfather’s empire crumble?" After saying this, Gu Chen instinctively looked at her, hoping to read something from her face, but soon he was disappointed.

Because Xiao Enli’s face showed no expression at all.

"I say, does your boss pay you more for your gossip?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Gu Chen: "..."

"Alright, just tell me what you want, quickly and clearly."

Gu Chen pinched his brow, regretting not knowing she’d be so difficult, he shouldn’t have met her face to face. Collecting his thoughts, he asked, "Where were you planning to go abroad?"

"To find my dad."

"Do you know where he is?" Gu Chen instinctively asked.

"If I knew, I wouldn’t need to find him."

Gu Chen realized Xiao Enli was simply an unreasonable rascal. He sighed quietly, turned to instruct the person beside him, and left.

He thought, since Xiao Anze could talk to her, it’s better to let Xiao Anze return to watch over her.

But on Xiao Anze’s side, the pressure was so low it was suffocating.

On the third day that Yang Qiao was able to get out of bed, she was just about to visit Ning Mo. However, as soon as she walked out of the ward, she saw Xiao Anze approaching anxiously.
